I have a rule-of-thumb for how much interior and exterior house paint should cost in labor and materials per square foot, over surfaces in a decent condition. 

I am really wanting to get into owning larger apartments but I don’t know where or how to get my foot in the door.  

Instead try to make business friends with those who you believe may be useful to you in the future, and those who share a common interest in the type of Real Estate Investing you intend to do (no matter what their level of knowledge and experience is).Have some business cards printed only with you name, your email and your cellular number and the type of investor you hope to be (such as single family buy and hold investor).Keep going to the meetups and making new friends and re-cementing bonds with existing business friends.

I printed out contracts from this site...should I get them reviewed by a lawyer first?

I did purchase a property, an 800 square foot house. 

An example is I buy those Xtreme mats for under the kitchen sinks and they come with a small alarm that will go off if there is a leak, so I have a page  in the book that I printed off the website that explains how it works.Anything that is relevant to the house.

How much per square foot?

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $7,000 4,000 square foot multi-office commercial property catering to Psychology and social work professionals located in Syracuse, NY.

Print a frame with the five most relevant house rules and hang them in visible areas of the home.Always prepared = always readyThe chances something can go wrong during the peak season are high.

In addition, the estate is equipped with a modern lounge, with 22-foot ceilings, a movie theatre, a spa, a top-tier gym and a peaceful meditation garden.
